By BBN Staff: In response to rising cases of COVID-19 in the country, the San Pedro Town Council has decided to assist the national pandemic response by cracking down on businesses that are non-compliant with the protocols in place to prevent the spread of the virus.

The Council issued a public notice, saying that it intends to assist the Police Department and Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW) to enforce the COVID 19 regulations through the Trade and Liquor licensing boards.

“Both boards will be assisting in monitoring and reporting businesses who are known not to comply with the COVID 19 regulations as mandated by the trade license and liquor license board. The boards will also engage in the processing and reviewing of all written complaints received by residents regarding establishments that are non-compliant,” the Council said.

Belize has reported 13,917 cases and 332 deaths relating to the virus. As of Friday, July 23, there were 349 active cases and another 342 under investigation according to the MOHW.
